Pidgin 2.4.0 Released With New Features
Posted by Michael Larabel on March 01, 2008
Pidgin, the popular IM client once known as GAIM, has flown out of the coop today with a new release. Pidgin 2.4.0 is the first update in about three months, but it brings a number of features to the client as well as libpurple and Finch. Pidgin 2.4.0 adds support for offline messages for AIM, Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer support, 64-bit D-BUS fixes, auto-resizing of the chat input text area, theme support for conversation name colors through the GTK+ theme, and new bindings. These are just some of the changes, with the complete Pidgin/libpurple/Fince 2.4.0 change-log being available on the Pidgin developer website. Additional details and download links for this popular multi-platform instant messenger client are available at Pidgin.im.
